Best 8 Cognac Glazed Chicken Thighs Recipes

CHICKEN THIGHS WITH COGNAC SAUCE AND VEGGIES

Steps:

• Coat the chicken thighs with flour. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Place the chicken thighs skin side up and start frying them.
• Flip them over when golden, and add the red onion. Stir and pour the chicken stock, cognac and soy sauce. Let the sauce simmer on medium-low heat until it reduces by half.
• Heat another skillet, add olive oil, and start cooking the mushrooms. Season them with salt and pepper. Add the tomato and parsley and cook for about 1 minute.
• Move the veggies on top of the chicken and keep it on heat for 1 more minute.

CAST IRON SKILLET CHICKEN WITH COGNAC SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Sauté the shallots, garlic and thyme. Add the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to an extra large skillet - ideally cast iron. Place it over medium heat and add the shallots and garlic. Sauté until the shallots are soft and beginning to brown. Add the thyme, stir, and let it become aromatic -- about 30 seconds.
• Brown the chicken. Season both sides of the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to high and add it to the skillet. Brown both sides of the chicken and then turn the heat to low-medium. (You're not cooking the chicken through here, just browning the surface.)
• Make the sauce and add it to the skillet with lemon slices. In a small dish, mix the chicken stock, cognac and lemon juice together and then evenly pour it over the chicken. Add the lemon slices around, on top and below the chicken.
• Braise. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low and braise just until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. (Cooking times will vary slightly, and larger pieces, like the breasts, will take more time than smaller pieces.)
• Finish the sauce and serve. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and let it melt into the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve! (Here's How to Season to Taste.)

CHICKEN THIGHS WITH COGNAC & RED WINE

Steps:

• 1 - Heat oil in large frying pan on med-high heat.
• 2 - Wash chicken and pat dry, then dredge in flour mixture and place chicken skin-side down, and cook approx 10 minutes before turning over to cook the other side for approx 10 minutes. You want the chickent to be golden-brown.
• 3 - Remove from heat and add the cognac, making sure pan is away from open flames. Return pan to burner, ignite cognac either with a long match or ignite gas burner. Keep the pan's lid handy, in case you need to smother the flames. Let the alcohol burn off.
• 4 - Add red wine, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, turning chicken once.
• 5 - Place chicken in medium-sized dutch oven, or casserole dish, cover, and set aside.
• 6 - Cook onions until transparent in same frying pan, then layer the onions over top of the chicken in the dutch oven, then set aside with lid on again.
• 7 - Add the remainder of ingredients to the pan, and bring to a simmer and ensure ingredients are well mixed. Spoon over top of onions in dutch oven, making sure the tomatoes are well distributed, and that the chicken is covered.
• 8 - Bake at 350 F for at least one hour. An extra half hour is going to give more tender chicken. .
• 9 - Serve chicken with rice or noodles, with chicken on the side. When removing chicken from the pot, be very careful that the chicken pieces don't fall apart. Spoon the sauce over top of the rice or noodles.

HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
• On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

ASIAN GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, garlic, and salt in a bowl until smooth. Pour half the marinade into a large plastic zipper bag; retain the other half of the sauce. Place the chicken thighs into the bag containing marinade, squeeze all the air out of the bag, and seal. Shake a few times to coat chicken; refrigerate for 1 hour, turning bag once or twice.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Pour the other half of the marinade into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, to thicken sauce. Remove the chicken from the bag; discard used marinade. Place chicken thighs into a 9x13-inch baking dish, and brush with 1/3 of the thickened marinade from the saucepan.
• Bake 30 minutes, basting one more time after 10 minutes; an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chicken thigh should read 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Let stand for 5 or 10 minutes; meanwhile, bring remaining marinade back to a boil for 1 or 2 minutes, and serve chicken with marinade. Sprinkle with green onions.

HOISIN-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS
